Someone once dropped a 'mint imperial, a type of sweet, from the top of a multi-story car park and it landed on my grandmother's head. The average speed of a falling mint imperial is 4 m/s and the velocity is a Gaussian distribution with standard deviation 0.25 m/s. If a mint travelling faster than 5 m/s causes injury, what is the chance my grandmother was injured? In fact she was fine, but very annoyed.

injury, what is the chance my grandmother was injured? In fact she was fine, but very annoyed.
